Happiness Seems to Increase With Age, Linked to Birth Year, Florida State University College of Medicine Study

People who are worried about getting older can at least count on being happier as they age, according to a new study in the journal Psychological Science. In the study, a group of American researchers found self-reported feelings of well-being tend to increase with age. They also discovered a person’s sense of well-being can be shaped by the year he or she was born, also known as their “birth cohort.”
